Today is Deb’s birthday – our ‘violet’ cousin. Hope your day was happy and delightful, Deb!
For a day that was full from 7am until 7pm I don’t have much to post. I worked in Jeannette but Greensburg didn’t need anything. Since I was close, I went to Norwin Walmart but they didn’t have what I was looking for. I did find a pair of walking shoes to replace the ones I’m currently using with almost no tread on them. Long over-due.
I made a nice salad and garlic toast for lunch. I decided to mark the plug on the toaster because it was hard to tell which side was wider. OF COURSE when I did that I dropped a dot of nail polish in the toaster! I was freaked out and panicked. I was able to take a clean, dry cotton ball and get the drop out, then took a soft dry brush with Dawn detergent on it and removed the polish residue. Then I decided that it might be flammable. So I took the toaster outside and set it in the middle of the driveway and plugged it into an extension. I turned it on high and watched it from a distance. It was fine.
So I took it upstairs, put a half slice of bread in each side, and tried it again. It was normal and no problems. Only me….
Once I cleaned up that experiment, I backed the car out and washed it. The trip to the farm to do corn left it covered in dust and I hadn’t cleaned it. So now it’s clean with sparkling windows, so I’m relieved about that.
I was just finishing up when Pat came to do the rest of the deck boards. He got them all done but one, because there was a faulty bolt that wouldn’t come out. He’ll bring different tools and handle that next. He also fixed the downstairs closet door. And of course there is the wait on the new door.
That’s about it for the day. Tomorrow I will get the cleaning done and so some laundry.
My blessing today was beautiful sunshine and cooler temps!
PEANUTS Thought for the day:
TOMORROW August 14th is:
Love your Bookshop Day; National Pine Day; National Creamsicle Day; National Financial Awareness Day; World Calligraphy Day; World Lizard Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Nail day. No lizards for me, tomorrow or any day. I’ll stick with loving my bookshop! Mostly it would be Kindle! God bless…
